ERNST THEODOR HEINSOHN AND JOHN HOFFMANN, OF FRELSBURG, TEXAS.

MOTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 397,288, dated February 5, 1889.

Application tiled August 23, 1888.

To all whom, it may concern:

Beit known that we, ERNST THEODOR HEIN- soHN, and Jenn HOFFMANN, citizens of the United States, residing at Frelslnng, in the county of Colorado and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Motors, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to an improvement in fan-motors; and it consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly point-ed out in the claim.

In the accompan ying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a fan-motor embodying our improvements. Fig. 2 is an elevation, partly in section, of the operatinggearing. Fig. is a side elevation of the same. Fig. i .is a detailed perspective view.

A represent-s an inclosing-case, which is preferably rectai'lgnlar, as shown in Fi l, but may be made in any other suitable shape, if desired.

B represents a V-shaped iframe, which is secured in the caso and comprises the sides C and the posts D, which connect the same at their corners.

.lournalcd Vin the upper side of the framel, near the upper corners thereof, are/'a pair of shafts, E,to which are secured ratchet-wheels F and spunwheels G. The ratchet-wheels are engaged by spring-actuated pawls H, that are pivoted to the frame, and thereby the shafts are prevented from roi ating, save in one direction.

Loosely iournaled on the shafts E are sleeves l, to which are rigidly secured spur-wheels K. L represents volute springs, which have their inner ends secured to the shafts E and their outer ends secured lo the wheel l. Ata snitable distance below the shaft E are jonrnaled winding-shafts M, which are provided with pinions M', that engage the spur-wheels G. The outer ends of the said shafts project through openings in the front side of the case, and are squared or made angular in cross-section and adapted to be engaged by a key, whereby said shafts may be rotated, so as to wind up the springs.

O represents a shaft, which is journaled in the frame midway between the shafts E, and is provided with a pinion, P, which is engaged serial No. 283,515. (No morren by the wheels K, and is further provided with a spur-wheel, R.

S represents a shaft, which is j onrnaled in the frame, and is provided with a pinion, T, that engages 'the wheel R, and is further provided with a spur-wheel, U. A shaft, V, is journaled in the frame in the same plane with and at a suitable distance from the shaft S, and is provided with a pinion, XV, that engages the wheel and has a spur-wheel, X.

Y represents a shaft, which is journaled in the t' rame at a suitable distance below the shaft V. To this shaft Y is rigidly secured a pinion, Z, which engages the wheel X, and is further provided with a wheel, A', which engages a similar wheel, B', of the same size and rigidly secured to a counter-shaft, C'. To the said shafts Y and C', which, being geared together, are caused to rotate in opposite directions, as will be readily understood, are secured spursectors D' and E', respectively, each of which is provided with teeth around half its circumference, and the said teeth being' on diametrically-opposite sides ol' the said pairs of sectors,

as shown `in Fig. 2.

F represents a rock-shaft, which is journaled at the lower corner of the frame. Rigidly secured to this rock-shaft is a spur sector or arm, G', which is adapted to engage the sectors D' and E' alternately7 when the latter are in rotation, and inasmuch as the said sectors rotate in opposite directions the same, by alternately engaging the sector G', causes the latter to operate and impart rocking motion to the shaft F'. The train of gears hereinbefore described transmit the rotary motion of the driving-shaft E to the shaftsY and C'. ln the center" of the sector G' is an opening, H'.

represents a stop pin or screw, which works in a threaded opening in the front side of the frame, has its head projecting through an opening in the front side of the ease, and is adapted to engage the opening H', so as to lock the sector G', and thereby prevent the motor from operating.

The front end of the rock-shaft F' projects through a central opening in the front side of the case, near the lower end thereof, and is provided with a socket, K'.

L' represents a pair of supportingrods, which project from the front side of the case, are arranged in the same horizontal plane,

converge toward eaeh other, and have their outer ends connected by the plate or yoke M. The latter 'l'orins the hearin for a rocking fanshai't, N, the inner end ot' which is secured in the socket K. fFroin the outer end of the fan-shaft depends an arni, 0', to which a suitahle fan may he attaehed.

It will he understood that the rocking niotion of the shaft l1" is iml'iarted to the t'anshaft, and that the latter tends to operaie the i'an.

A motor thus Constructed n1a `v he also einployed for operating various kinds ol' light machines; and we do not therefore wish to limit ourselves to its use in Connection with a fan.

Having thus deserihed our invention, we claimln a il'an-inotor, the V-Shaped l'ranie l, the shafts E, 'joru'naled in the ripper corner4 lhereol', the ratchet-wheels l? and spul-wheels G, secured to Said Shafts, the sp1-ing-aetuated pawls pivoted to the trarne and engar ing the ratchet-wheels, sleeves loose on sha is E, and having the Spur-wheels K fast to Said Sleeves, the volute Springs l., with theirinner ends fast to shafts E and their outer ends fast to wheels l, the winding-shafts M, having the pinions M', engaging wheels G, the shaft O between shafts E, having the pinion l?, engaging wheels K, and provided further with the spur-wheel R, the shaft S, having pinion T, engaging wheel. R, and provided with the Spur-wheel U, the shaft V,havin g the pinion 'YV and Sprl rwheel X, the i'ornier engaging wheel. U, the shaft Y, having the pinion Z, engaging wheel X, and provided also with the wheel. A', the eou liter-shaft C', having wheel l', ol' the saine Size as wheel A and engaging the latter, the spurred sectors D E', Secured to Said. slialte 'Y C', the rook-shaft having the spurred Seen tor G', provided with opening ll. and engaging sectors D E alternately, the Screw l, engaging' the frame and adapted to engage the opening ll, i'or the purpose Setiort-h, and the fan-shaft detaehahly Secured to the roekshat't, all in Combination, Substantially as de- Serilmd.

ln testinwirvY thatwe elaini the l'oregoingas our own we have hereto al'ixed our signatures in presence of' two witnesses.
